Great video. Thanks. I currently have a kettle and am considering getting WSM. Now that I have watched your video, it has given me a bit more confidence on how to use it once I get it.👍
I keep my charcoal in a covered barrel and keep the bags to start my chimney. Works really well. My son'd were looking to get me a smoker and I have been eying this model. This was a great demo, thanks. Also, ribs look delicious.
WSMs are amazing. Great advice man. The advice about the importance of look and feel over how long something is cooking is something that took me a while to grasp when I first started grilling.
Thanks. Same here. When I got my wsm I felt as if I was alone. None of my friends had it at the time. It was through lots of trial and error and research that I went through to be standing here. Now I’ll cook any damn thing on that. Lol. Hope for the new guys to the wsm they can just walk away with one thing from this video. Have a great weekend brother
WSM is a legit smoker. I also set up my coals like you do. I've swapped the water pan with a Firedial and I got a Lavalock coal basket which has an ash catcher. I've worked on 60-1000 offsets and this can make bbq that's comparable.
Great video. Thanks. I use news paper in my chimney, works really well and it’s free. Spray with a little cooking oil on the paper. I also use an Auber Instruments pit minder, it’s less expensive than the others, about $150 and works great.
Hey Thomas. Thanks for the feedback. Newspaper works great. Haven’t done that in a while. Lately I’ve been using Fire Cups by the Tiger McCool barbecue company. Nice little fire starter and burns real clean. I have to check out the Auber. I’m not familiar with it. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t have many aftermarket parts for the wsm. Some stuff works really well though. Hope you like my channel. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good day 👍🏻
Hello Chris, thank you very much for all the information about this great Weber smoker, that was very helpful, thanks for this great video 👍👍👍 Kind regards Da Wolfe 😁👨🍳
"I'm not a competition cook, but I'm sure I could hang with them". That's what I thought.... a little ambitious. I did get 4th place in chicken with a WSM one time. Otherwise, competitions are very taste/doneness specific; don't waste your time. Keep cooking what you want, when you want it. 🤟🤟🍗🐂🤟🤟
Welcome. Yeah those comps are not my cup of tea. Money, time, stress. No thanks. I definitely give it up to the comp guys. Cooking in my backyard for my friends and family is where it’s at for me. Congrats on the chicken 👍🏻. Thanks for watching ✌🏻
Great video. I’ve been torn between a WSM and Masterbuilt 800. But here in the uk our climate isn’t great for the Masterbuilt. I think you made my mind up to go for the WSM
Please note that I'm having issues receiving all of my comments. I will always answer you comments or questions

I just picked one of these bad boys up. Thanks for making this video I found it super helpful in getting started with it.

First time using a smoker, this vid helped me get going! Will update results!

Thanks for this video. I just got a WSM. Doing the seasoning tomorrow.
Awesome. Your going to love it.👍🏻 let me know what you cook first. All the best.

Is this the 18 size? Can a half pan fit in this size? Thanks

Awesome Smoker.. Just did some wings today
Great video Chris. Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks brother. Enjoy your weekend
Hi, I wanted to know approximately how much coal it consumes for low&slow cooking of around 10/12 hours. Thank you
smoker looks easy to use. ribs look wonderful. we wrap our ribs in paper
I love it. I also wrap. Sometimes in paper sometimes in foil. Just wanted to show the unwrapped. Thanks for watching
Thanks Man, really helpful
Should I put my dampers half way position for ribs or closes on the bottom dampers ?
Do you ever put like apple cider in the drip pan?
Great video. I’ve been torn between a WSM and Masterbuilt 800. But here in the uk our climate isn’t great for the Masterbuilt. I think you made my mind up to go for the WSM
You recommend the water pan for a brisket? Just got a wsm. We buy 1/4 cow at a time and have a brisket I wanna try out this weekend
Hello! Yes I do recommend using the water pan. Fat cap up. All the best on your cook. Happy New Year.
@@ChrisHansenBBQ thanks brother . Happy New Year
Hey Brian. Welcome. Definitely run a water pan. Also fat cap up. Water pan acts as a heat sink. It will hold the temp better.
I appreciate the well informed video
Thanks for watching brother
Great info my friend
Thanks for watching. Love that wsm. Have a great day
Great video, 🇩🇪👍🙏🙏💕👍
Thank you for watching
Nice smoke ring
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Great video
Thank you and thank you for watching
What’s the point of the bottom plate that is under the smoker?
Heat shield for ground
This is an amazing upload
Nice barbecue
Thanks. Definitely a good one. Just a slight learning curve then you can make some magic
Yo wtf how much water do you need ?
Now I’m scared I just bought one there is no way that pan fits that much water
Fire , charcoal and flipflops....
This isn’t to catch a predator
RIBS!
Yes sir they were quite good. Thanks for watching
